Objectively, I don't think the arguments hold much water either way.
-- They're just making a flavoring. So however much vanillin they produce, it will always use only a tiny fraction of all the waste lignin produced by the pulp industry. Or if made from sugar, the amount of sugar needed to make the vanilla will likely be minimal compared to all the sugar used in the deserts it's being incorporated into.
I think these arguments have far more to do with marketing than anything else: Evolva clearly has a financial incentive in claiming their technology is better than what's currently on the market. And FOE clearly has an incentive in claiming that the synbio approach is somehow worse than turning black industrial sludge into yummy vanilla using chemicals. Meh.
